659 Trouble at the Door

“Cai, I’m not looking for trouble this time. As long as you hand over the thief who just entered the academy, I’ll leave immediately. Furthermore, I can make the decision to let a portion of your people leave. If you don’t agree, don’t blame me for making this place a living hell,” Snake Empress threatened Cai Yong with a cold expression.

“Hmph, there’s no little here. All of them are the human race’s decent men. As for you, just use whatever means you have. Jixia Academy isn’t afraid of your dirty tricks,” Cai Yan said decisively.

Needless to say, he knew that the thief must be Li Xiang. However, it was impossible for him to hand over the person. If he handed her over, wouldn’t that be cowardice? What was the difference between that and humiliating the country and the human race? At that time, the entire human race would be embarrassed. Not to mention, Li Xiang was an Overlord of a Region, and his status was far beyond that of ordinary people. Anything that happened to him would affect the entire world, even the survival of hundreds of millions of human civilians.

Just this point alone made it impossible for him to hand Li Xiang over.

!!
“Snake Empress! Don’t even think about it! You’re trying to drive a wedge between us. If I hand him over, there would be no more trust in humans in this academy. Once we lose confidence in each other, it’ll be easy for you to break into the academy. Such an obvious scheme, how could we fall for it? Elder Cai was right. We will never hand him over, and I, Qi Jiguang will be here to protect him till the last moment of my life,” a burly man in a long robe said in a serious tone.

Every word and sentence from his mouth was more than powerful and convincing.

“That’s right, General Qi is right. We will never agree to it. What are we if we hand him over to you? If there was a first time, there would be a second time. Once we agree with you today, there’s no more principle. If you have the ability, just attack us directly. We’re not afraid of you.”

“Jixia Academy will protect whoever the foreign races want to kill. What can be the worst scenario? We aren’t afraid of death. We will make you damned foreign races pay a painful price even if it means losing our lives.”

“Cut the crap. You are trying to tear us apart, right? Do you seriously think we were born yesterday?”

The students of the academy shouted at Snake Empress.

In the Academy, even if many people were just common civilians in the past, they had all started to read and write. Moreover, after receiving the inheritance and starting to cultivate, their thoughts became more agile and their wisdom increased. In the face of Snake Empress’s conditions, they could instantly see through the sinister plan within. It would be very innocent of them to accept her proposal.

Of course, perhaps not everyone thought this way, but no one dared to jump out and object to Cai Yong and Qi Jiguang’s decision.

“Snake Empress, if you want to fight, I’m here.”

Qi Jiguang laughed coldly and took a step forward. The aura of someone who had been through hundreds of battles emerged from his body.

“Qi Jiguang? This was the transcendent aura of the School of the Military. Is he the founder of the Army of Qi, the famous general from back then?” Li Xiang had arrived long ago, but he didn’t say anything till now.

He also wanted to see how the students of Jixia Academy would react in the face of danger and temptation. Fortunately, their reaction did not disappoint him.

At least these people didn’t embarrass the human race.

What was even more surprising was that he had discovered a top talent.

Qi Jiguang, the Qi Jiguang who had inherited the School of the Military.

The historical records of Qi Jiguang that he had read before came to his mind. Back then, he was a scholar and also from a military family. His name was Yuan Jing, and people called him Nantang. His later name was Meng Zhu, and his deceased name was Wu Yi. Han, born in Penglai, Shandong. He was a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, an outstanding strategist, calligrapher, poet, and national hero.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaded the coastal areas one after another, causing immeasurable damage. At that time, he quickly led an Army to exterminate the Pirates. This battle lasted for more than ten years along the southeast coast, wiping out the Pirates who had been abusing the coast for many years and ensuring the safety of the lives and property of the people along the coast. After that, he fought against the Mongolian invasion for 10 years, protecting the northern region.

“It’s indeed Jixia Academy. Even a talent like Qi Jiguang is here. He even obtained the legacy of the School of Military. His ability to lead the Army must be even more outstanding.” Li Xiang looked at Qi Jiguang with respect in his eyes.

In times of chaos, the best generals and commanders were more important than those who could manage internal affairs. Only a strong Army could protect civilians in the chaotic world and protect their dignity from being trampled on.

However, now was not the time to build a relationship with Qi Jiguang.

Looking at Snake Empress who was standing outside, Li Xiang frowned and walked out.

“You’re Snake Empress? I don’t think we know each other, so why are you calling me a thief? That’s not very nice.” The moment Li Xiang said this, all the snake people in and out of the academy stared at him.

“Who is this person?”

“I’ve never seen him before. Could he have just come in from the outside? ”

“He’s the thief that Snake Empress is talking about? Could it be that something happened between him and Snake Empress?”

“This person’s aura is extraordinary. He can still remain so calm in the face of a powerhouse like Snake Empress. It looks like he’s someone extraordinary and powerful.”

Behind them, the students were discussing among themselves with curiosity.

“What a man.”

Qi Jiguang looked at Li Xiang’s calm expression and was impressed.

“You filthy thief, you’re indeed hiding in the academy. If you have the ability, come out and have a real battle with me. ”

A cold glint flashed in Snake Empress’s eyes, and a trace of killing intent appeared on her face. The moment she saw Li Xiang, she wanted to burn his bones and scatter his ashes. She would never forget this face, and the fingers that were holding the bone whip even turned slightly white.

“Whatever you want, but you should at least tell me the reason, right? I don’t think we know each other, so your furious reaction makes me confused! Please explain to me!”

Snake Empress’s eyes turned cold when she heard this.

If she could talk about what had happened before, she would not have the face to come.

In reality, the fog that enveloped the entire valley was not created by the snake people to seal off Jixia Academy, but it was a critical moment for her to break through her bottleneck.

As a powerhouse of the snake people, every breakthrough was a transformation.

At her level, the transformation was even more mysterious.

Although she could still transform into a snake person, her body had evolved to be completely identical to a human’s.

During this crucial breakthrough, her entire body would be limp and powerless, without any ability to resist.
